Walk into any pharmacy and you will see shelves of pills promising stronger immunity. But here’s what science actually shows:
For most healthy people, supplements do not “boost” immunity beyond normal levels if their diet is already balanced. Vitamins like C, D, and zinc help only when there’s a deficiency, not as magic shields against illness. Overusing supplements can even backfire, leading to toxicity or disrupting the body’s natural balance.
Strong immunity is not found in a bottle, it is built through sleep, nutrition, excercise, stress management, and vaccination.
Do you rely more on supplements or lifestyle habits to stay healthy?
